WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was less than upfront in his half-hour commercial Wednesday night about the costs of his programs and the crushing budget pressures he would face in office.

Gee, maybe the blind squirrel found the nut after all.
Fire that man!!!!
So, it appears that October 29, 2008 was the day that the Obamacorns in the Obamedia had their first inkling that their guy just might not win. Time to head for cover and start the old CYA gig.

Kinda nice to see a Dem get the microscopic treatment generally reserved for Reps.
The military.
Hmmmmmm..... This is a miracle.... Now I will pray for another miracle. How about getting the LA times to release that tape!!!!
Test run for the Fairness Doctrine.
Yep!
He has lost the power of mass hypnosis, America is waking up from the sound of a million snapping fingers.
The rabbit he pulls out of his hat is now a snarling Wolverine.
That is a good statement!
My paper the Kansas City Star would rather talk about Palin’s clothes!
